In addition to the suspensions of John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, goal-scorer Ramires and Raul Meireles, another defender - Gary Cahill - hobbled off after only 12 minutes with hamstring problems and is thought to be touch-and-go for the final in three weeks' time.

David Luiz missed both legs of the semi-final against Barca thanks to a hamstring injury but he is expected to return to action in the next fortnight.

But with the suspensions limiting Di Matteo's team selection, and the injury list growing, who would make your Chelsea XI for the final?

In defence the Italian, who relied on tremendous performances in the second leg against Barcelona from makeshift central-defensive pair Ivanovic and Jose Bosingwa - more used to playing right-back - might have to try something left field. Will he move Michael Essien, or even Jon Obi Mikel, back to shore up the side?

Further up the field will Di Matteo rely on the evergreen Didier Drogba, who once again proved a handful for top European opposition, or will he start Fernando Torres - whose confidence must surely be boosted by his last-minute goal at the Nou Camp? Or perhaps Daniel Sturridge will earn a starting berth, if the other attacking options are burned out.

Belgian youngster Romelu Lukaku is not available for selection, as he was not registered in Chelsea's Champions League squad.
